New Report Released from the RID Program’s CANCOVID-Preg Project!

The RID Program’s Canadian Surveillance of COVID-19 in Pregnancy: Epidemiology, Maternal and Infant Outcomes (CANCOVID-Preg) Project has just released a new report (Report #7) on some of the most recent updates, key findings and recommendations based on the latest data. This project has been led by Dr. Deborah Money and the rest of the RID Program team, as well as a team of national collaborators since April of 2020, to better understand the epidemiology and infant/maternal outcomes associated with COVID-19 infection in pregnancy. Multiple other previous reports have been published, highlighting the increased severity of COVID-19 for pregnant women and people compared to the general population and the influence of maternal vaccination on reducing the risk of severe illness. The most current report includes data from all COVID-19 affected pregnancies up until December 31st 2022 in eight provinces and one territory across Canada, and from all three main stages of the COVID-19 pandemic categorized by dominant variant of COVID-19 (Pre-Delta, Delta, Omicron). It also has data on COVID-19 vaccination status of pregnancies, which helps to understand the impact of the COVID-19 variant type and vaccination status on outcomes.
